St. Francis, who reincarnated as Mohandas Gandhi according to his own testimony, (1) set the bar for peacefulness as a divine quality – in both incarnations. His prayer is perfection of service to others.

The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

In his interview on An Hour with an Angel, he said that the film of his life, Brother Sun, Sister Moon, had much to teach and recommended it. St. Clare is his twin flame and this life was apparently the only one on Earth in which they had come together.
